Business Starting Grants

What is the average amount of a small business grant?

I am in the process of opening my day care center. Just want to know how much grant money should i be expecting?

1. $500 -- unless you are one of the EXISTING daycares affected by Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana Most of these daycare grants are for little things such as fees for fulfilling licensing and regulatory requirements, costs to offset purchase of toys Example is Maryland's The Family Day Care Provider Grant Program http://www.marylandpublicschools.org/MSDE/divisions/child_care/grants/ Check with the daycare licensing agency in your state and ask them if they could direct you to grant sources. The Administration for Children and Families provide a state by state listing of contacts for licensing and regulations governing child care businesses: http://www.nccic.org/statedata/dirs/regoffic.html Note though that there are not many available grants for for profit businesses such as daycares. grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements
